In the Hybrid, when a load is placed on the 12v battery such as an aftermarket 12v to 110v inverter:
Is the 12v battery constantly charged with the key in the off position or does the key need to be in the accessory position or does it need to be in the on position? If it is the on position, do you also need to turn the key to the start position before allowing it to return to the on position?
Will the ICE come on to replenish the high voltage battery if the key is in the accessory position or does it need to be in the on position? If it is the on position, do you also need to turn the key to the start position before allowing it to return to the on position?
I am asking these questions in case I need or want to use the inverter for an extended period of time.
I am aware that the 12 battery is charged by a DC to DC converter from the high battery.
I am also aware that the high voltage battery is charged from the ICE. As well as regenerative breaking.
